Shattuckite and Malachite on Quartz

Item Description

The Shattuckite/Malachite combinations from Kaokaveld have garnered justifiable praise over the years for their sheer beauty and aesthetics. This plate is exceptional for form. Normally, the Shattuckite lines pockets in balls (botryoids), but here the Shattuckite actually coats large Quartz points, and one 1 cm Quartz termination can even be seen exposed along the side of the specimen. Several of these coatings are actually tipped with very fine velvety Malachite. An unusual, and highly aesthetic specimen.
